The Lord be with you. A reading of the holy gospel according to Saint Luke. The scribes and pharisees said to Jesus, John's disciples, that is John the baptizer of course, John's disciples fast frequently and offer prayers. The disciples of the pharisees do likewise. But yours, on the contrary, eat and drink freely.
Jesus replied, can you make guests of the groom fast while the groom is still with them? But when the days come that the groom is removed from their midst, they will surely fast in those days. Jesus then proposed to them this figure. No one tears a piece from a new coat to patch an old coat. If he does, he will only tear the new one, and the piece taken out of it will not match the old coat.
Moreover, no one pours new wine into old wine skins. If he does it, the new wine will burst the old skins, and the wine will spill out, and even the skins will be lost. New wine should be poured into fresh skins. No one, after drinking old wine, wants new wine. He says, I find the old wine better, and this is the gospel of the Lord.
